The death of Birehaa, Sultan of R^eita, was lately reported from Aden. The fol- lowint; description of lum,. contributed to the Corriere di 2titino by By. Licata, the Italian traveller who penetrated to that far region, may be found interesting " I remember," Sij;. Licate, *the laat vis it that Bsrehan made ub, and the last words I heard him pronoonce at Bnja, where we had prepared for him a throne of new m it- ting and a glass of temarind. He said that his people believed that we white were like panthers, but that he had seen that we were good, and he smiled around upon as while pushing away our little dogs that tried to lick him, for if they had succseded in doing so he would have been obliged to take a bath to purify himself. He was mightly content with what little court we paid him, and with the carbineer who stood at the door. That morning he had been on board the Cariddi, and the little flig we had hoisted in his honor, the matifuvering of tbe cannon, the salute frDra a Xordenfeldt, had filled him with a sense of his sultanic dignity. He had the highest quality of a king â€" ambition â€" although all his soveregn- ity consisted in his ha\ ing, under the im- mediate care of the crcvn prince, more goats and camels than otber people. He asked, as he always did, for a little coflFee to take with him. He 8ufi"ered from heart disease, and bad been having a fire kindled on his breast to cure him, as well as hanging a leather bag containing a piece of the koran round his neck. Tnen ha felt safe, having mere faith in the efficacy of such methods than in all the pills and draughts of the dccbor. The fire and the koran were sufiicient, for his malady was a devil that had entered his bo- dy, and must be driven out by the name of Allah. I saw him first at Raheita, in his royal palace of matting. The Egyptians had been molesting him as usual, and he had sent word to his protectors at As sab. As soon as we arrived he fervently pressed our hands, and seated hinuelf on his throne with the air of a Pharaoh and an idol, dressed in white with bracelets made of goat- skin. The court was full ot his warriors, greasy with butter, and of cattle just come trom the pasture. There was a glittering of lances and horns, an odor of dairy and stable. The harem contributed its notes â€" a continuous ringing of silver and glass or- naments and the squalls of babies. In tact, all the riches of a goatherd and a pasha. Then I saw him at Asaab, when he came to receive the §.jO assigned to him every month by our government. He never came with- out insisting that a palaver should be held to discuss se reral points concerning the sell- ing of a portion of his territory, I dont know how many years ago. He was as petulant as a beggar, sometimes in a manner to tempt one to give him a bacshish and send him off. He was not yet 50 years of age. He will be succeeded, according to laws of the coun- try^ not by his son, but by his nephew, a long fellow, half blind. He died in his bed, amid the lamentations of his subjects. We owe much to Berehan of Raheita. He co- operated in person to the success of Aato- nelli's expedition. He was les3 black than he seemed, and now that he is dead he has no color at all. Yes, poor dear Berehan, we are good, and we will write our word of sor- row on the big paper that you wanted so much to L»e able to read, knowing that it contained the news of all the world. While your wives weep for you, I, two thousand miles away, will buy a little wreath of im- mortelles and bend them to your tomb." In the Tail of a Comet. An ingeneous theorizer has written a book which was published by the Appletcns, to prove that many ages since tbe earth must have passed through the tail of a comet, and that certain disturbances observed on the surface of our planet were caused thereby. The scratche J and erosions from the north- east and southwest f jund upon hills and mountains in the northern hemisphere were attributed to the action of the more solid matter of the comet's tail, leaving its marks, together with the bowlders and detached rocks, which are found in such profnsion in the Temperate and Frigid Zones, Although this theory would account for much that is rayKterious, it has not been accepted by sci- entists, as it is not believed that tails of comets are formed of any solid material, P^^arly in December last, some curious at- mospheric phenomena were noticed in dif- ferent portions of the world. At sunset and before sunrise the heavens were permeated with a glow of rosy light, such as might have been caused if a great coiHigration had been raging. These strange appearances were noticed in both Europe and Ainerica. They have puzzled the scientific world. But some venturesome theorists have again put forward the hypothesis of the world being surrounded by the atmosphere of a comet's tail. It is known that about the time these phenomena occurred our planet was in the track of Bela's ccrast, and in a part of the heavens that was filled with mettors. It is known that comets are more numerous in the heavens than fishes are in the waters of the earth. Their numbers are so great as to be inconceivable to the human mind and it is not at all improbable that the earth in past times may have been entangled in the tails of these wonders of the sky. We live in a marvelous universe. "There are two things," said the great philosopher Kant, "which always fills me with awe and ad- miration, and those are the wondrous heav- ens by which we are surrounded and the moral law within." â€" DemoreiCg Monthly. Mr. Klihu Vedder, though principally known as a painter, is a sculptor as well,, and some fine specimens of his plastic skill are to be seen in the large iron plates used to back the fire-openin£;s of several Boston hearths. These plates are bass-reliefs of tnarrt' mythical heads, modelled with characteristic dash and strength. The very remunerative business of decorating the in- teriors of private houses is now engaging the attention of a lars^e proportion of the best American painters and sculptors. Artists who, a few years ago, would have considered it beneath their dignity to paint a frieze or to design a mantel, are glad to exercise their genius in this direction. History repeats itselt.

The eyes of all the world ara jast now tamed upon that cradle of ancienc ciyiliza- tion â€" the valley of the Nile. A new pro- phet has appeMvd at the head of a ery large army, and he has succeeded in defeating troops oficered by EogUshmen and equip- ped with the best modem arms. The false prophet, £1 Mahdi, is an Arab, a fanatic, and undoubtedly in his way is :i genius. There has been a traditiou in the Moham- medan world that in 1883 a successor of Mahomet would make his appearance and deliver the faithful from the mastery of the infidel Giaour. This looked-for leader was to have one marked physical peculiarity â€" one arm was to be longer than the other. El Mahdi fulfills this condition, for he can toach his knee with the fingers of his right hand. He has succeed in totally destroyiua; the army of General, or as he was cathd, Hicks Pasha. The flower of the Egyptian army â€" a Nubian corps â€" was subsequently defeated by the Bedouin followers of El Mahdi. Should there be a rising of fanati- cal Moslems throughout Northern Africa it might lead to important consequences. The Gladstone government will be lorcad to hold Egypt as a dependency, and make sacrifices of men and treasure in beating bick the hordes of the false prophet. Tne g-ivern- ment of Egypt is in disorder, and some very curious complications will result from the operations of the military fanatic who won so sijmalar a victory over well-armed and well-disciplined troops. Witchcraft in Scotland. At the Inverness police court recently, aa elderly Highland woman named Isabelle Macrae, or Stewart, was charged with as- saulting a little girl. She pleaded not guilty, and the evidence showed that the latter had used insulting language to the prisoner, while she on the other hand spoke of tbe little girl's grandmother as a witch. Toward the close of the case great amuse- ment was caused in court by the accused producing a clay image, or corp creagh, which she believed was made by the so- called witch. The legs had been broken off the image, and since then the prisoner be- lieved that her Qwn legs was losing tbeir strength, A person who wished to purchase the image after the accused hid left the court was promptly told that on no account would she part with it, for if anything hap- pened to it she might die, and she was not prepared. He husband had died some time ago. and also three horses, and she grieved to think that all these calamities were at- tributable to witchcraft. The image was about four inches in length, green worsted threads containing the diabolic charm were wound round, while pins were pierced through the part where the heart should be. The accueed was convicted and sentenced to fiae or imprisonment. â€" London Daily Hews. A clergyman of high reputation, in a large city in Maine, visited the market early on Monday morning. While there his attention was called to some very fine strawberries. He wished very much to purchase some, bnfrit being so very early in the morning it occurred to him that ihey must have been picked on Sunday, and of course he could not purchase or use any- thing which had been procured under such circumstances. He inquired of the farmer "Mr, Smith, were those harries picked on Sunday " Mr, Smith, with a sly twinkle in his eye, replied "No, doctor, they were picked this morning, but they grew on Sun- day."

King Thebaw has become a "reformed charactir," Till lately this potentate had been a weak young man, given up to indolence, self-indulgence, and cruelty but it is reported that since the death of "the monster " Yanoung Prince, a marked change has taken place which has done much to restore King Thebaw's power and influence. With the re-estab- lishment of his ascendency the moderate and enlightened men who have always been attached to his party, and who, not actually vanished from court, have, we learn, lately had little or no say in the conduct of affairs, are now taking the proper positions in the councils of the nation, Tbe kins himself has awakened from his lethargy, and has begun to assert himself as sovereign and ruler, while in a corresponding degree the interference and influence of the queen have decreased. He now, according to the same source of information, regularly at- tends and presides at the meetings of the Hlootdaw, and appears to have suddenly developed a surprising amount of intelligence and energy. The latest news from Thebaw's court is thatlhe king, beinar determined t« make an effort to subdue the rebellious Shan chiefs, has despatched five thousand troops to the Shan states under the command of four generals, accompanied by several Italians in the King's service.

THE SPLENDID STEAMERS â€" :) OF THE (:â€" WHITE STAR LIE Are all of them without exception among the Largest and Fastest of Ocean Steamers. They were constructed with special reference to the conveyance of passengers, and for Safety, Com- fort or Speed, are unexcelled. They are spe- cially noted for the regularity of their rapid passages in all weather. The steerage accom- odations are of the h.'ghest order, the ventila- tion perfect and every provision has been made for the coutfort and protection of the pas- sengers. In addition to the total and absolute separation of the single men and women, ex- cept on deck, the married compartment has been so remodelled and arranged that every married couple or family lias a little private room to itself.
